A COBPORATIGN OF NEW YORK.

GARMENT.

Application filed February 8, 1922. Serial No. 53 5,t)85.

To all whom it may 0011 0cm Be it known that I, Vroron GUIIJZBURG, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city. county, and State of New York, have inventeda certain new and useful Improvement in Garments, of which the following a specification.

Th s invention relates to a form of undergarment. the purpose of which. is to act as a carrier or support for a pair of dress shields to obviate the necessity of sewing a pair of dress shields int a waist'or other outer garment worn by {iivoman and the object of this invention is to provide a garment of this character which will fit snugly, thus-molding the shields in their proper'position'; which will be oi very sheer material so that it will not be visible through the light and thin outer ggrmjents worn at the present time; which will not be provided with. unnecessary fastening means to thicken or increase the bulk of the garment worn by women.

A further objectof this invention is to provide a. garment, of the character above mentioned to be used as a foundation or support for dress shields and which will be provided wit-h attached or integral adjusting means at the waist. or neck openings whereby the garment will fit. perfectly and snugly persons of various measurements.

With these objects and other objects which may hereinafter appear in view, I have devised the particular arrangement of parts hereinafter set forth and more. particularly pointed out in the claims appended hereto.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing forming a part hereof in which Figure l is a front elevation of a garment. made in accordance with my invention, and

Figure 2 is a, fragmentary view of :1 portion oi the garment adjacent one of the'openings showing the manner in which the elastic garment contracting strip is secured in place. i

Throughout, the various views of the drawings, similar-reference characters designate similar parts. In the preferred embodimentv of my invention as disclosed in the accompanying drawing, the front. por-.

' tion of the body of the garment is indicated at. 1 and the rear portion 2. The garment is completely enclosed that is, it is not. provided with a front or rear opening of any sort which would necessitate the use of cumbersome fastenings which might be undesirable in a garment of this kind. The garment is preferably of an open mesh net-- ted fabric so that the same will be very sheer and extremely light in weight and not visible when in use. 7

At 3 are shown the sleeves which are substantially short and of the same netted materia-l as the body of the garment. At, 4 are shown the shields which are permanently afiixed to the garment at. the arm pit-s so that they form a. unitary part of the garment.

The garment. is provided with an expansiblo neck opening 5 and a. waist opening 6 each of said openings being expanded and contracted by means of an elastic strip 7 secured about the edge of the opening by means of over-stitching 8 which passes through the openings in the net of the body.

To permit expansion of the openings 5 and 6. they are gathered or shirred as at. 9 and It), surrounding the elastic contracting strips 7. This permits the garment to expand at the openings without any undue strain being placed upon the netted fabric of the body at those points. The manner in which the elastic cords or strips 7 are shields are held snugly in position; its shoulder portions 11 prevent the. garment from sliding from the shoulders as is one of the disadvantages of shield carrying garments in use at the present time.

The garment being made of an open mesh netted fabric permits it. to be worn comfortably in warm weather; to appear substantially invisible when used and to be washed with the shields which form an integral or unitary part of the garment.

From the foregoing it is obvious that .my invention is not to be restricted to the exact. embodiment shown but is broad enough to cover all structures coming within the scope of the annexed claims.

What, I claim is 1. An article of t-he class described comprising agarment having a body of an openwork netted material, sa id garment having neck, waistand 211111 openings, sleeves of open-work netted material secured to said body at. said arnnopenings, and shields secured in said sleeves and in the armpit portions of said garment body.

2. An article of the class described comprising a garmenthaving a body of an open-Work netted material, said body being provided with a. neck and 21 waist opening, an elastic strip extending about; and along the edge of one of said openings and secured therelo by stitching extending over said strip and through the. openings in she open work netted material, the body material about said lust mentioned opening being gathered.

Signed ah the city, county and State of New York this 6th day of February, 192:2v
